Well, Christmas Day is a public holiday, so most non shift workers - and the industry has several - will not be at work. As for not coming to work on their birthday or their family members birthday? I think you've been in the sheltered workshop too long.
Aviation is a 24/7 industry. For some roles in it, if you don't come to work, someone else has to. That's why others prefer you do your rostered shift, rather than them have to.
Ohh yes, because it’s always soooooo easy to get exactly what you want for annual leave and day off bids

Get real, if you can always get your requests then I’d love to know where you work.
